the world does now recognize nelson mandela's face. when he was released from prison, you were there to be one of the first people to see how that time had had changed him. his image had banned at times in south africa. what comes to mind now when you think back on that historic day? >> well, freedom from apartheid in this country, freedom from apartheid in that country. dr. king removed the badge from skin color. it happened in south africa in '92 and '94. we got the right to vote here in '65. they got the right to vote in '94. and we changed the rule of opinion in southern america. they changed in southern africa in 1994. in many ways, the freedom of blacks from apartheid in our own country empowered us to fight for that freedom. so people who really made it happen, people like randall robertson from transafrica when the view of a new africa -- dr. mary bear or roger wilkins. a role harry bellefonte played and maya angelou. this is a freedom movement. some people focus on the guy. they miss his victory was skin over apartheid. and he
